2. Managing is what you do with people, not to people.
3. The energy your employees bring to their jobs will be directly proportional to the energy you bring to the job. Be an energy manager!
4. The best performance starts with clear goals.
5. If it is to be, it begins with me.
6. You gain power when you share power with your people.

11. You get what you reward.
12. The more challenges you face, the closer you are to your goal. Don’t give up!
13. Don’t sweat the small stuff (it’s all small stuff).
14. If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.
15. Remember: It’s not personal, it’s business.
16. Make work fun. It’s good for you, your employees, your customers, and the bottom line.
17. If you don’t like the way things are today, be patient. Everything will change tomorrow.
